Protecting Your Interests. Empowering Your Business. Delivering Legal Excellence.
I am Advocate Benedict Katare, a Tanzanian legal professional driven by integrity, resilience, and a deep commitment to practical legal solutions. My journey in law began with a passion for justice and problem-solving, which led me to earn my LL.B from Mzumbe University and later complete my Postgraduate Diploma in Legal Practice at the Law School of Tanzania.
Over the past seven years, I have built my career within some of Tanzania’s most transformative infrastructure projects, particularly the Standard Gauge Railway. Serving as Company Lawyer and now Company Legal Counselor & Coordinator for CREGC–CREDC Consortium Limited, I have advised on large-scale cross-border construction projects linking Tanzania and Burundi. My work spans contract drafting and negotiation, regulatory compliance, risk management, dispute resolution, and corporate structuring.
I have represented employers in over 100 court sessions across Tanzania and successfully mediated more than 100 multinational employee disputes. One of my proudest professional moments was helping resolve two major employee strikes involving over 200 workers, preserving both project timelines and workplace harmony. I also played a key role in establishing and legally structuring an international consortium operating in Tanzania.
Earlier in my career, I gained litigation and corporate governance exposure at Clyde & Co Tanzania and R.K. Rweyongeza & Co. Advocates, strengthening my analytical and advocacy skills.
I believe in professionalism, accountability, and strategic thinking. My approach to law is not merely technical—it is solution-oriented and business-focused. Outside my legal practice, I enjoy continuous learning, reading about leadership and global business trends, and engaging in meaningful discussions about law and development in Africa.
My mission is simple: to protect interests, manage risk, and deliver legal clarity in complex environments while building lasting professional relationships grounded in trust and excellence.
